Trek Emonda SL5
Carbon frame OCLV serie 500
medium 54cm
Shimano 105 group set
2×11 speeds
The bike seems to be in good condition. I am a 5’8 male with a 32” inseam. The seller wants $1000 for it. I feel like that’s a bit steep for this bike. I don’t know what year this is from but it seems at least 4 years old.
Will this bike fit me? What should I realistically pay for this bike if I decide to get it? Will this bike be good enough for an Ironman 70.3/140.6

Price is definitely steep, bike is Pre2020 for sure as my Emonda SL5 is the 2020 model and has disc brakes.
It is a 2018 model
Theres no way to be certain if the bike fits until you try ir out. Looks like it also has a seat mast so there is very limited adjustments there. Something else to consider is these bikes were made for 23-25mm tires and will most likely fit 28mm max.
Price indeed is high but it looks to be in fairly good shape. You could offer 6 or 700 and see what the seller says.
This bike is really clean. The cassette is shiny. The tires are good. The price is high but this is a nice bike and its condition merits a higher asking price.
Looks pretty clean to me. I have 105 on one of my bikes and it shifts flawlessly. I think it should fit fine, but better a bit on the small side than too big. $1,000 for a carbon bike in excellent condition is less than half of what you’d pay for a new one.
I have the 2015 version of this. The rim brakes are not great when it’s wet, I’d recommend looking for something with disc brakes
